[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#301164: libasound2-dev: nested functions cause all loaders of libasound.so to have executable stacks

[Brad Spengler]

Package: libasound2-dev
Version: 1.0.8-3
Severity: important


objdump -x /usr/libasound.so reports:
   STACK off    0x00000000 vaddr 0x00000000 paddr 0x00000000 align 2**2
         filesz 0x00000000 memsz 0x00000000 flags rwx
	    
This is due to nested functions in the alsa library.  These have been
fixed in other distributions (Fedora, Gentoo).  Not fixing this problem
breaks applications that use this library on PaX systems and silently
disables additional security on exec-shield systems.
